Specication of I-.etters Patent.

Patented llay Application led February 21, 1911. Serial No. 610,071.

To' all whom t may concern.'

Be it known that I, THEoDoRE F. OE HsLn, of Philadelphia, in the county of Phi adel. phia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Metal Sash-Bars, whereof the following is a specification, reference.A being had to the accompanying drawings.

My invention relates to a metal sash bar which is made by uniting two separately rolled metallic pieces each similarto the other, and each constituting one-half of the sash bar as divided along its median plane.

Where there are crossing bars, the .compound lmetal sash bar may be used in cont-he compound bar being employed for the bar which is broken at the crossing. Underthese circumstances the union between the solid bar and the ends of the broken bar may be conveniently formed by a double over? lapping tenon joint, passing through a mortise. hole in the solid bar. v

In the accompanying drawings, Figure I, is a plan view of two crossing sash bars one' of them, (the horizontal bar), being split so as to embody my invention. Fig. I I, is a partial section along the line II, II,.of Fig. I. Fig. III, is a section `along the line III, III, of Fig. II. Figs. IV, and V, are respective views of two oppositely abutting ends of my sash bar showing the joint ernvployed lfor effecting the union with a crossing bar. 4Figs. VI, and VII, are transverse sections respectively along the line VI, VI, and VII, VII, in Fig. II.

each part being like the other, the bar being split along its median line. Under these circumstances, each half bar 1, comprises half of the molding 2,- and half of the tongue 3. I find that ahalf bar of this rolled.l l

The two halves are united rat their flat y faces preferably by riveting as shown in f Figs; III, IV, and V, the rivets 4, passing through the tongues of the-bar. Both theJ horizontal and' vertical bars of a sash may lbe constructed in the manner above described. It 1s however, convenient to con-l struct those bars which are to pass without' break from one edge of the sash to the other as a single metal bar, while the bars which run crosswise to these, and which are broken at the crossings to form the intersections are compound or. split according to my invention as I have described it. The'joint at the intersection point is then made as follows :-The moldings of the two abutting tenon 7, 7, .the companion piece of the other abutting end being correspondinglyl out away as at 8, to receive the projecting tenon. When the parts are assembled the twotenons overlap and may be riveted together as at 10,10.

.The solid' bar against which the two com# poundbars abutv has piercedthrough it a mortise hole 12, in such lposition as to receive the overlapping tenons, the joint thus formed being fully illustrated inFig. II.

Having thus described my idention, I claim Crossing metal sash bars,` one of which has the tongue, mortised; and' the other of which is a compound bar divided into halves along its kmedian plane andbloken so that its ends abut'the sides ofthe solid bar; one half of each compound bar projecting as` a7 tenon fromits abutting end; two of' these tenons overlapping and-being received within the mortised tongue of the pfirst named bar. f

In' testimony whereof, I have hereunto signed my name at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, this sixteenth day'of February 1911.
